I need to install the internet card drivers on my netbook the problem is that it dosent have cd tray so I can't install them via the Cd or atleast I dont know where to mount the iso so Ubuntu recognizes it so I can put the Proprietary Drivers. So is there any other way? Or where can I mount the iso?
Thanks!

What do you mean by 'privative'? Is this the name of the company/network card or do you mean 'proprietary'? From a dictionary: privative (1) Causing deprivation, lack, or loss.

Can you provide more specific details in your question? Are you trying to mount the CD for the proprietary drivers or for Ubuntu? What is the maker of the hardware you're trying to install?

I want to install the propietary drivers that come on the Ubuntu Cd. I know that the drivers are in the Ubuntu 10.10 cd because when in Software Origins I check the box that says install software from Ubuntu Cd and I go to active the propietary drivers it says that I can active them but it tolds me to insert the Cd, but as I am on a netbook I dont have Cd Tray.

What is the name and model of your wireless card? Seems odd to me that you have got it on a CD since (unless these are windows drivers used through ndiswrapper) needs to be recompiled at every kernel update. Is'nt it possible to download the drivers from the manufacturers website?

If you want to use the ISO image as a software source without burning it, the process will be a bit more complicated. You will need to open a terminal Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal and run these commands:
